  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: πŸ§πŸ€– Engineers at #MIT and #EPFL built a flapping-wing #robot that swims #underwater and flies into the air.

    Inspired by diving #birds like #puffins, the small #vehicle folds its #wings to handle water density. This #technology could help scientists collect environmental samples from both air and #water.

  5. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: 🦎🧠 Scientists at the University of #WΓΌrzburg designed a #Mars #rover wheel that mimics the sandfish #lizard, a #desert #reptile that swims through loose #sand. The team tested their bio inspired #wheels on sand and open terrain showing steady movement and identifying areas for improvement.
